Meanwhile, Maryann Houlihan, 78, of Winton, was driving a silver 1991 Hyundai southbound on Winton Way in the No. 2 lane. Patricia Houlihan was a passenger in her car.

For unknown reasons, Gonzales entered the intersection directly in front of the Hyundai. The driver of the Hyundai was unable to avoid a crash, colliding into the Lincoln’s right side, Schoonhoven said.

The driver of the Lincoln lost control, crashing into a fence. The Hyundai was disabled in the southbound lane of Winton Way.

Gonzales suffered no injuries, and the boy suffered minor injuries. Both were taken to Mercy Medical Center Merced.

Schoonhoven said DUI is not believed to be a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
